In a cryptic message on his Facebook, Transport Minister Lui
Tuck Yew had some emotional words for his followers and grassroot
leaders, which seem to hint at a possible departure for the
troubled former scholar-general. Read his post here:
Regarding the boundary changes, we know that Mouleim is being
divided up and it will join different GRCs. For me of course there
is a sense of disappointment because I have been with the residents
for so many years already and I’ve become very fond of them and I
will miss them dearly.
I know that for the grassroots leaders, the volunteers, even the
branch activists, this will come as a surprise and will also be a
huge disappointment to them, but we have to understand why this is
happening.
I know Prime Minister has given the guidelines to the boundaries
committee to have smaller GRCs, and to create smaller GRCs, then
naturally the boundaries will have to shift. In this case, Moulmein
is one of the more affected constituencies.
So I hope that the residents and all the volunteers can see it
in that light but most important of all, we must continue to serve
those whom we have been serving all these years, and do our best
for them, reach out to them as much as ever before. When they join
the new advisers in the different constituencies in time to come,
bond with the new team; like how we have been able to build a
cohesive and responsive team over the last 10 years.
I’ve been really privileged, really blessed to serve alongside a
very dedicated team. I’ve benefited much from their counsel, their
hardwork, but most of all from their friendship. So I leave with a
sense of sadness.
As for me, what is going to happen, well, I have some ideas of what
the possible plans are but I’m sure you’d understand that this is
not quite the right time for me to talk about it.
